A comic about finding happiness.
Page 1 of 4. A package is delivered to a house. It has the logo "CR" on it, and is opened by disembodied hands to reveal a VR headset and a flyer reading "consensus reality" Page 2. A person puts on the headset in their cozy living room. A panel from their perspective: they see a popup reading "Welcome to consensus. Do you accept the terms and services and sign away your likeness rights." They select the word "Absolutely." Their hand flips through realities, selecting "consensus." The world around them becomes simplified, rudimentary lamp and chair and table replace their specific furniture. Attempting to lean on the table, they fall over as the VR representation of the table doesn't correspond with its actual shape and size. Page 3. The person, fallen on the floor, swipes back up the realities menu. They select total ad block. Now they're surrounded by a pure black void. They yawn. Page 4. The person rises to their feet in the empty void. They turn off "total ad block" and select a new reality: "100% natural." Looking out window blinds that are now alarmingly lumpy and organic looking, their headset reflects a world made of gooey, formless meat. They grin.

Writing a quality cold email: Explain why you want to talk to them and not another person with the same job. And express excitement about something they care about. Have a specific ask: are you free for a 30 minute call sometime in the next two weeks? And finally, keep it short. Zine side effects may include receiving more emails. Date: May 2024. @allia_makes and @audmcname Several multicolored copies of mini zine SEND IT sitting on clover.
